I admit I didn't like this movie at first; I've never been much a fan of watching Mike Myers mug his way through films. I dislike Wayne's World and despise Austin Powers. This charming movie, however, Myers' fourth film outing, shows a subdued and sweet actor finding his way among a dozen equally-talented, incredible comedic actors. Other reviewers have focused on Myers' portrayal of the racy Scottish father, but to me that's just another example of him chewing up scenery like it was chocolate-covered graham crackers. Instead, take some time to watch him interact with Amanda Plummer or Anthony LaPaglia, his underappreciated costars. He is quiet, charming, vulnerable and funny, without being obnoxious. The story is about Charlie McKenzie, a beat poet in San Francisco who has a history of dumping women for stupid reasons ("She smelled like soup...beef vegetable soup..." He meets Harriet, a lady butcher, with whom he falls in love. But wait! Is it possible she's the murderous Mrs. X, who marries men and kills them on their honeymoons? Charlie thinks so, and the ride is on from there. Pay special attention to the hysterical interplay between Alan Arkin and LaPaglia who play a police captain and undercover detective, respectively. Also watch for the uncredited costar, the city of San Francisco, which is shot more beautifully here than I've seen in any other film. This DVD deserves a lot of extras, commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, outtakes, etc. With a stunning cast like this one, there must be treasures moldering in a vault somewhere, but you'll find none of them here. Aside from a soundtrack in Portuguese (? ) and subtitles in Korean, Thai and a host of other languages, you'll find none of that here. You'll just have to be satisfied with a wonderful movie.Read full review
So I Married An Axe Murderer is a FANTASTIC film. Mike Myers kept everyone entertained weather he was reading poetry, trying to be romantic or maybe just trying to stop himself from being killed by the axe murderer??? This is a film you can watch time and time again and still not get tired of it. I would highly recommend it to any Mike Myers fan!
This is often the most underrated and unviewed of Mike Myers films and that is a biig mistake. I don't quite know why this didnt achieve the cult status of it's Austin Powers and Waynes World contemporarys but it didn't and it should have. Essentially the misadventures of a young would be poet who, through his own inability to commit, is somewhat unlucky in the dating game then finds 'true love' but his own paranoia steps in to spoil things. This is much better than it sounds, and it certainly is funny viewing. Myers plays the central role and the part of his own father, an auld scottish gentleman that sounds remarkably like Shrek. Rather than gunning for belly laughs though, Myers seems more content to let the story unfold and get the laughs from there. There is less obvious humour here, although Mr Mackenzie's (the fathers) baiting of his younger son William is pure comic gold. A worthy watch.Read full review
